This is some fantastic work so far guys.

Well done Chris and Paul.

The sydney lot are getting a little worried about weather at the moment, but I tried to set them straight on what Newy weather is really like :angry:

So, just in case anyone is interested, the forcast for Saturday is....

"Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Warm to Hot. North to NE winds."

Theres no forecast for Sunday yet, but it does say "Trend for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday fine to mild."

Which does sound alot better to me.

I'll keep an eye out.

IF it rains i'd say it will only be late afternoon showers, with a hot sunny day. :D

Here is a report i found on the text messgae thing:

so according to this there should be no problem.....

thanks bro. c ya there

Hrmmmm I am getting a little worried about all this though. Not because I think it will happen here, but generally because of the hieghtened state of alert the local authorities are on.

I'm thinking we should either find another place sort of close to Newcastle and a beach for the arvo stuff with the Sydney crew, or at least let Newcastle Police know what we have had planned for a month now and that we won't be there to cause trouble. More so they know they can focus elsewhere.

But telling them also means EVERYONE has to be on their absolute best behaviour whilst driving down through Newy.

Alright, so it looks like the Sydney crew aren't coming up for the day. Understandable really. Most of their reasons are well founded.

So.....

We have choices to make.

1) Are we still going?

I say yes. And I'm 100% positive about that.

Why?

Because I say we cruise in spite of all these "threats". I say we show our support for Australias multicutural society and get on with our normal activities.

I was even thinking of some kind of temp sticker for my rear windscreen with something like "I support a multicutural Australia". But maybe, maybe not... lol

Anyway.

2) What shall we do after lunch?

This is something we can prob discuss in the morning at Speersy, but something for you all to keep in mind till then.

We can opt to take our time with photos and lunch, and drag it all out more. Or we can cruise back down to somewhere else. Stockton or back to Speers Point or something.

I'd honestly stay away from Newcastle itself, more to give the police a break then anything else.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

sorry guys im very dissapointed :)

we were lookin forward of meetin u all, we will but its not a good time now. hope u guys have fun in ur cruise. keep safe.

i dont think stickers will be wise, u will get hammered by both sides :)

just a thought :D

Wooo! I'm getting excited!

The photo shoot idea sounds good...

Imagine the perfect shot, on the water beautiful background crystal clear water WITH 20 SKYLINE OWNERS SWIMMING TO SAVE THERE CARS!... ehhehe hope that doesn’t happen.

Anyway I cant wait. Should be a mad day.

Edit: I think I missed reading about 50 posts before i replied.

I haven’t heard much about riots in Newy yet... That’s sort of news to me.

It may actually look like a car club cruise with 20 - 50 Skylines in the same area. But still it wont hurt much to postpone if absolutely necessary.

Damn right its going ahead!

Can't let all this hard work go to waste! :)

Plus, we're not going anywhere Newcastle, till maybe the arvo.

And by then, we should know if its a good idea or not.

ive ordered all the food....pick-up 9.00 on Sunday morning...so it will be nice and fresh....... 100 lunches to go!

Hmm i might still actually come as youse are almost if not certain that where we are cruising to there are no riots happening... plus it will be my first cruise with my first car lol :blink:

I'm still up for it!

Hey guys - so many posts since i last checked!!

I have heard NOTHING about these newie riots (whatever that means) happening at the beach. I reckon its just a bunch of 16 y.o fags just taggin onto the media trying to be cool and sms everyone they can. They wont even sho wup themselves!!!!

So i say we go ahead with the cruise - wise decisions there above^^^^ and play it by ear on the day.

Excellent organisation by all members and especially Chris, Paul & Stace. Cheers guys, seeya Sunday.

(Paul if you are picking the food up at 9am sunday does that mean you wont be meeting at Spears point????)

Hey everyone. I'm hoping i'll be able to come on sunday. I have a white 1995 R33 GTST and have been waiting to go on a cruise and meet some new people. Moving house tomorrow so it all depends on how that goes, but i'm gonna do my best to get there. By the way is there anyone from Singleton going that wants to meet up somewhere and cruise down to speers point in the morning?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
